Bowel Health Self Check personal screening tests are accurate, simple and easy to use tests that can be carried out in the privacy of the home and provide a discreet way to check your health status.
The tests are designed to identify potential problems before any obvious signs or symptoms appear.
Self Check Bowel Health screening test is a sterile rapid test to detect the first symptoms of colon polyps, adenomas, carcinomas and other silent lesions. It detects occult (hidden) bleeding: 0.14ul blood / 1g stool (highly specific for human haemoglobin).
The test is fast and reliable, with visible results within 5 minutes.
Self Check Bowel Health screening test has been extensively evaluated by the largest European screening study (150,000 people over a period of 5 years).
This test is important because cancer of the bowel is the third most common cancer in the UK. It usually takes around 5-10 years for colon cancer formation and therefore early detection is very important and can save lives.
Everyone over the age of 40 should perform a yearly fecal occult blood test in order to minimise risk and detect colon polyps (precursors of cancer)
Each kit includes: 1x test cassette, sample container with collection stick and buffer solution, full instructions leaflet and range leaflet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Dad had bowel cancer, does this mean I will get it too?
A: Just because your father had it, it does not mean that you will get it. However, if a close relative (e.g. mum, dad, brother, sister, son or daughter) had it before they were 45, ask you GP about further screening. Also ask you GP about further screening if two or more older, close relatives from the same side of your family had it.
Q: What else could put me at risk?
A: You are over 50 - nine times out of 10, bowel cancer strikes the over 50’s.
You have had polyps - these are usually harmless growths in the bowel, but can lead to cancer in a few cases.
